The construction sounds and repetitive voice samples may get on your nerves after a while, but this is a minor shortcoming.

A generic cart racer, even with those blue bastards behind the wheel. The only saving grace is the price tag.

It's a curio--something to buy if you find yourself overcome with Olympic fever; just bear in mind that it'll be in the bargain bin in just a couple of weeks.

The fact of the matter is that the gameplay in this ramshackle title pales in comparison to these top-selling greats, as does its unpredictable design, boring multiplayer modes (deathmatch, pass the bomb, etc.) and outdated engine.

For the true believer, it's all worthwhile when Ash cranks up his trusty chainsaw and lets loose with a hearty, "Yo, tree bitch. Let's go."

Until SCEA sits down and actually works to iron out some of the game's bugs and takes steps to improve the realism, GameDay will be mired in Madden's shadow for many seasons to come.

Looks like a guppy of a fishing game indeed.

The added bonuses in gameplay, such as critical hits and non-linear play, are what make this game definitely worth checking out. So get out your dancing shoes, and start slashing to the beat.

From the graphics to the execution to the gameplay mechanics, America is the poorest excuse for a real-time strategy game I've seen.

The PS2's first college hoop game doesen't blow the roof off the arena.

Like a mixture of "Mario Kart" and "Motor Toon GP," RC Revenge Pro's pint-sized racing terrors are armed to the teeth, delivering a totally lighthearted, fun and competitive racing experience.

If only this game had the good control and the creative puzzles of "Resident Evil," it might have been a damn fine game. Of course it's not a damn fine game. It's a pretty bad one, but at least it's short.

I never thought hitting someone with a lead pipe could be so boring.

To make a painfully long story short, even at a $20 price point, you won't eke a smidgen of amusment out of this product, unless you receive it as a white elephant gift.

Credit should be given to Infogrames for even producing a volleyball game, but Power Spike's a bit like getting sand in your shorts -- not much fun at all.

BMX isn't a bad game, it just doesn't do anything fresh to get a jaded player excited.

A stress buster with mindless fun.

You will be subject to gruelingly slow frame rates. I will not hesitate to drop you below 20 frames per second. I will blur the graphics until your eyes hurt. You will play bland level after bland level without so much as a whimper.

Not only does it look gorgeous, but it does a remarkable job of bringing the surfing experience home. Unfortunately, it also brings the frustration and lack of variety that straight surfing brings, which leads to its inevitable failure in the fun category.

The poorest excuse for a hockey game ever created. Not even the nice-looking player models can save this game from the recycle bin.

More of a rental than a purchase, unless you're a huge football fanatic who requires every pigskin video game.

The biggest problem area in Mike Tyson Boxing is the controls. They're not completely unresponsive, but there is a definite delay that affects the overall gameplay and fluidity of the game.
